Does it show water spots? I live in So Cal and our water is HARD here. Will I end up having to wipe the sink dry after every use to prevent spots?

We live in Maine and have hard water from a well with no softener system. I have not had any water spots, just 2 small areas of white that I cleaned with a composite sink cleaner from Home Depot one time. The sink is absolutely gorgeous, I just rinse the sides and bottom with my sprayer when done using it and the water appears to be effervescent by popping up and the sink dries quickly. I have owned a stainless steel and porcelain sink prior and this is just so much more appealing.

Our water is so terrible that we had to install a water softener system because the water continually ruined our plumbing. I would say that it will spot however, because the finish is a matte finish, I would say that you probably wouldn't notice it.I love this sink because it's deep, wide and is nearly maintenance free.

No staining on mine. If you have greasy dishes a build up can accumulate if you don't clean the sink thoroughly after washing. I just use soapy water and a brush to remove and rinse really well.

We use Weiman's Wipes on it weekly, and make sure to dry it with a dish towel if we notice water drops. If we don't notice until later, the spots still wipe off easily. The sprayer is very easy to use. My wife loves it!

My sink has remained the same color. The gray color is produced by hard water or soap scum. Regular cleaning of your sink should prevent this problem.

I am not bothered by water spots on this faucet. I don't think mine is especially bad looking. It's a work horse. I do probably clean my sink every other day.....but I am not a neat freak or cleaning fanatic. Still love this faucet. Don't use brillo on anything stainless steel - it will scratch it. However you can use a FINE steel wool on stainless steel sinks. It will make it look like brand new. Don't rub really hard in any one spot.

I have not had any staining problems. I always rinse the sink out after use. Occasionally I use the Blanco cleaner and the sink looks brand new. The cleaner is a bit pricey but I think it's worth it personally. Hope this helps!

I've had mine for almost nine months now and only found one tiny rust spot in my sink where the rubber bumper twisted around and the rack was exposed to the stainless steel sink. From that point on, I always make sure that the rubber bumpers are facing down where the rack rests on the sink bottom and haven't experienced any rust stains since. This is a great product and has saved my sink from many scratches!

Yes, it does. It is not very noticeable. I went over to the sink and looked for it.

No. I've had my sink about 8 months. It looks just as good as the day it was installed. It puts up with lots of regular daily use. I've 100% satisfied with it!

The polished stainless does show fingerprints and water spots, but it easily wipes clean with a dish towel or paper towel. Mine sparkles and I leave it out on the stove top or warming shelf for quick access.

I think if it is near a sink and gets splashed on frequently, it will eventually "bubble". Mist from a shower wouldn't be an issue, but actual splash from handwashing by a sink would be.

No it's rough around the edges. I wouldn't get this sink mine rusted after the first use so now I have to wipe it dry every time I use it.

If the water marks are old, it won't take them off. If it's something you keep on cleaning regularly, yes it will take them away. For hard old water marks I would recommend a different product than this one. it shine the sink though very nicely.

I have a very small rust spot from leaving a knife in the sink. It let me know right off the bat to keep the dishes cleaned up. I really like the sink, how deep it is and don't mind the encouragement to not have messes.

I don't because they tend to get water spots. I just wash and wipe dry; that way they look better. Not sure how I know that--I don't think I put them in the dishwasher ever. They would show water spots even if just air dried. I only use it on holidays, so I would probably wipe them off each time before I used, too.

I purchased my teapot in late November and so far I've not had problems with spots or fingerprints but then I don't put my fingers on the outside of the kettle much opting instead to handle it using the handle. I also don't get water splashed on the outside to form any water spots. I do wipe the inside of mine down every time after I use it so that it stays nice. I do have a few little spots that have formed on the inside bottom from use but I got rid of those using a cleanser. So far the kettle has held up well and I've had no problems.
